Kwasi Kwarteng was reacting to comments reportedly made by Mr Mahama indicating that Ghana has gone back to HIPC status.
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), during a speech at a Professionals Dialogue series in Accra on Monday, said, “the IMF in its Sub-Saharan African Regional Economic Outlook forecast the current rate of borrowing and debt at a frightening 76.7% debt to GDP ratio. Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, Ghana is back to HIPC status under Nana Akufo-Addo and Ken Ofori-Atta administration.”
The NPP Communicator, however, believes such an unfounded remark should not be coming from a former President.
"The NDC from day one tries to discredit the government and this time around it backfired; John Mahama had it wrong . . . it exposes his incompetence and lies . . . it exposes their incompetence, mediocrity and lies as an opposition party," he added.
Mr Kwarteng was contributing to a panel discussion on Neat FM's 'Me Man Nti' programme.
